Why does the 12 month year end in December? Decem is 10 in Latin. Just like Novem is 9, etc. Why did they add extra months to the year?
Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? |

Sometimes I come first, sometimes he comes first. Sometimes only one is and that is okay.
The Princess Bride is a terrible movie. Pepperoni and cream cheese are amazing. Nesquik is an abomination. Meryl Streep is an overrated actress. EVs are horrible for the environment! |

Let me google it for you: https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/months/december.html Roman year started in March. |

The Roman calendar originally only had 10 months, starting with March and ending with December. January and February didn’t exist as an idea, and those days of winter were just sort of nameless, and the year was deemed to begin at the first signs of spring. But the Romans switched from a lunar calendar to a solar one, added January and February (these initially became the 11th and 12th months), renaming July and August for some emperors (they used to be named Quintilis and Sextilis), and just fudging around generally with the number of days in a year to try and make it work correctly. Ultimately the start of the year was moved back to the start of January, but the rest of the month names stayed the same. And that’s why September, October, November, and December don’t line up with their numbers. I don’t know about your other question. |

Disney sucks
Most people who claim to really care about beer/wine/coffee/gourmet food don’t actually— they are just trying to convince people that they are interesting or classy, and aping other people’s preferences and knowledge. There is no basis for their snobbery. Instead of offices or WFH, we should have neighborhood work spaces paid for by local taxes where people go to work during the day. They should be located near neighborhood schools for convenience, and have free internet and public services available onsite (health clinics, post office, annual tax filing services, etc.). This would actually solve a bunch of problems at once but instead we’ll keep doing it the dumb, inefficient way that makes everyone mad and miserable. |

Target is for poor people and has shitty quality.
There is nothing special about BMWs, Teslas, or Audis. Many Democrats are low-key racist and do not want to admit it. Most republicans are racist and at least own up to it. |
